A fascinating collection of twenty-five compelling stories about
events that shaped the Mile High City, It Happened in Denver
describes everything from a nineteenth-century gold rush that
turned a tent city into a bustling frontier outpost to the
mid-1990s construction of a baseball stadium and the urban renewal
that accompanied it. Discover why Denver nearly burned down in 1863
and why it was flooded a year later. Learn how wine barrels helped
lay a foundation for the ski industry. And meet David Moffat, the
man most responsible for building a rail line across the Rocky
Mountains. In an easy-to-read style that's entertaining as well as
informative, author Stephen Grace recounts some of the most famous
(and infamous!) moments in the history of Colorado's largest city.
